Self-Quarantine Day 25 – 04/06/2020
Watched a movie, slept, got up, drank coffee.
Ate stuff. Played computer games. Left the news on, avoiding city hospital segments.
Folded laundry, paid bills, looked out the windows. Gray skies again.
Balmy afternoon, sans sunshine.
The minutes ticked by, the sun went down, we gave it up again.

… Day 26 – 04/07/2020
The fine line between tuning out and DROPPING out is blurring a little. Yesterday had a never-ending quality to it and I thought far too many thoughts. Not having the answers to the simplest questions is a form of torture…
Being labeled an essential worker doesn’t make you expendable. But maybe we have an endless supply of dedicated humans to feed into the maw, so essential protections for the essential members of society are not an essential part of the picture. There’s no place to hide from that knowledge.
Knowing that nothing under the sun will ever change the conversation in America weighs heavy. It would be a well of strength if we were all in this together… but we can’t hook it up where it counts in a crisis. We’re fighting the virus, the unknown, our fears, ourselves, and each other while Americans of all ages die in a battle they can’t win. If this strikes you as being political, well… point made.
So that was yesterday, my diary friend. This morning is beautiful so far… biscuits & gravy in a bit… and here’s a puppy…

I’ve been nonessential for a long time.
Meh….
